Does Excel support variable fonts?

Question

Does Excel support variable fonts?

Though I cannot use the variable fonts' axis control on Word and Powerpoint, I could use static instances. On the other hand, I cannot use any variable fonts at Excel. On Mac's Excel, they switch to the default font, and on Window's Excel, I cannot set the weight.

Hi @오세현

Are multiple variable fonts not displayed properly in Excel?

Can you tell me about a variable font name that you use?

Currently, I have not found any information about whether Excel supports variable fonts. It is recommended to check whether the fonts are installed correctly first.

• On macOS, the system font location is Macintosh HD > Library > Fonts. Troubleshooting reference: Issues with fonts in Office for macOS
• On Windows, the location is C:\Windows\Fonts.

It is also recommended to test these variable fonts on Excel on other computers. If the same situation occurs, it is possible that Excel does not support them.
